That one patch aghhhh
Why is it that no matter how much you get up to your allotment there is always one patch that is left uncultivated. One bit that gets forggoten. We have now had our allotment for about 4 years and the top right hand corner has never been used!
First we sow the seeds, nature grows the seeds then we eat the seeds. Neil Pye

Year 2 JAs reappear. Harvest more.

I agree with Susie. It's called biodiversity and allowing a naturally beneficial eco-system to develop. Or something.

Just tie together a bundle of bamboo canes. Stick them in the ground. Nice house for your beneficial insects that you're trying to attract with the uncultivated area
